If They Wrote an Article About Your Practice, What Would It Say?
What Would They Really Say About Your Practice?
Picture this. A big magazine is doing a feature on patient experiences at plastic surgery practices across the country. You’re in it. What do you think they'd say?
Would it be something you’d proudly frame on the wall? Or would your stomach drop as you read the headline?
Patients Are Already Telling Your Story
Here’s the truth. Patients are already writing that article; every time they post a review, talk to a friend, or share their experience online. Whether it's glowing or scathing, the story gets out.
We’ve seen it firsthand. As plastic surgery consultants, we talk to practices every week that are struggling to figure out why surgical bookings are down, reviews are lukewarm, and patients just aren’t as excited to come back or refer their friends. Nine times out of ten, it’s not your pricing. It’s not your location. It’s not even your results.
It’s Not the Pricing. It’s the Experience.
Why Great Results Aren’t Always Enough
It’s the patient experience.
It’s the feeling they get when they walk through your doors.
It’s how confidently they’re guided through the process; from first call to follow-up.
It’s the way your team answers their questions, listens to their concerns, and makes them feel seen, not sold to.
Because even the best surgical results can be overshadowed if the journey feels rushed, confusing, or transactional. What patients remember most isn’t just what you did, it’s how you made them feel while doing it.
The Details Define Your Reputation
The Little Things Aren’t Little
When patients say things like:
• "They seemed rushed"
• "No one explained anything to me"
• "I never heard back after my consult"
They’re not just venting. They’re pointing out red flags that keep them from saying yes, from trusting your process, and from recommending you to others.
And unfortunately, when this stuff goes unchecked, it snowballs.
Poor Patient Experience Means Lost Revenue
Let’s Call It What It Is: A Business Problem
Ignoring the patient experience is expensive. It costs you consult conversions. It costs you reviews. It costs you referrals.
Even if your surgery results are amazing, patients will remember how they felt through the process. Were they informed? Were they supported? Did your team make them feel like a person, or just another thing to cross off your list for the day?
This is exactly where experienced plastic surgery consultants can make a real impact. Not with fluff, but with structure.

If They Interviewed Your Last 10 Patients...
Would they describe a warm, welcoming experience that made them feel confident and cared for?
Or would they talk about unanswered questions, confusing pricing, or a staff that couldn’t be bothered?
You don’t have to guess. You can create an experience that guarantees the first story, not the second.
That’s what we do at PS². We help plastic surgery practices turn “meh” into “wow,” with real systems, real training, and real results.
